Dual-Targeted Gold Nanoprism for Recognition of Early Apoptosis, Dual-Model Imaging and Precise Cancer Photothermal Therapy.

Photothermal therapy as novel strategy to convert near-infrared (NIR) light into heat for treatment cancers has attracted great attention and been widely studied. However, side effects and low efficiency remain the main challenge of precise cancer photothermal therapy. In this study, we have successfully fabricated and characterized the dual-targeted gold nanoprisms, whereby bare gold nanoprisms (Au NPR) were conjugated to a phenanthroline derivatives-functionalized tetraphenylethene (TPE) and further stabilized with target peptide aptamers via Au-S bonds (Au-Apt-TPE).

Chitosan-catechin coating as an antifungal and preservable agent for postharvest satsuma oranges.

The antifungal properties of chitosan-catechin coating and the effect of fruit preservation were studied. We used catechin to modify chitosan to prepare a coating. The purpose of the study was to use chitosan-catechin coating to prolong the preservation time of satsuma oranges.

Ecofriendly Electrospun Membranes Loaded with Visible-Light-Responding Nanoparticles for Multifunctional Usages: Highly Efficient Air Filtration, Dye Scavenging, and Bactericidal Activity.

Ambient particulate matter pollution has posed serious threats to global environment and public health. However, highly efficient filtration of submicron particles, the so-named "secondary pollution" caused by, e.g.

Molybdenum disulfide nanosheets loaded with chitosan and silver nanoparticles effective antifungal activities: in vitro and in vivo.

A method was developed for the liquid exfoliation of molybdenum disulfide (MoS) from its bulk materials using ultrasound in aqueous phase with the assistance of chitosan (CS) and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) for effective loading of a variety of therapeutic molecules. The characterization results revealed that the as-made chemically-exfoliated MoS nanosheets had an average thickness of ∼10 nm. The new material, CS and Ag NPs-modified MoS (MoS-CS-Ag), showed highly effective antifungal activities against Saccharomyces uvarum and Aspergillus niger.

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Silver Nanoparticle-Decorated Quercetin Antibacterial Molecular Mechanism.

Facile and simple method is developed to synthesize silver-nanoparticle-decorated quercetin nanoparticles (QA NPs). Modification suggests that synergistic quercetin (Qe) improves the antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). Characterization experiment indicates that QA NPs have a diameter of approximately 10 nm.

Quercetin loading CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles as efficient antibacterial and anticancer materials.

Quercetin (Qe) plays an important role in inflammation, antibacterial, anticancer, and aging. However, Qe has extremely low water solubility, which is a major challenge in drug absorption. In this study, we described a simple method for synthesis of Qe/CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles (QCZ NPs).

Design of PLGA-functionalized quercetin nanoparticles for potential use in Alzheimer's disease.

Dysfunctional interaction of amyloid-β (Aβ) with excess metal ions is proved to be related to the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Hence, disruption of these metal-peptide interactions using nanoparticles (NPs) holds considerable promise as a therapeutic strategy to combat this incurable disease. Given that quercetin is a natural product, the biocompatibility and small size essential for permeating the blood-brain barrier make it a potential therapeutic drug candidate for treating AD.

Anti-tumor activity and mechanism of apoptosis of A549 induced by ruthenium complex.

Two new ruthenium (II) polypyridyl complexes [Ru(MeIm)(pip)] (1) and [Ru(MeIm)(4-npip)] (2) were synthesized under the guidance of computational studies (DFT). Their binding property to human telomeric G-quadruplex studied by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, the fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET) melting assay and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy for validating the theoretical prediction. Both of them were evaluated for their potential anti-proliferative activity against four human tumor cell lines.

Silver nanoparticles-quercetin conjugation to siRNA against drug-resistant Bacillus subtilis for effective gene silencing: in vitro and in vivo.

Quercetin (Qe) exhibited extremely low water solubility, and thus, it was modified using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). We fabricated AgNPs combined with Qe (AgNPs-Qe). The modification suggested that the synergistic properties of Qe enhanced the antibacterial activity of AgNPs.
